Beyond the Talks: Meet, Network and Have Fun

Networking & Lightning Talk Challenge

Networking & Lightning Talk Challenge
FREE FOR EVERYONE
As in previous editions, on Wednesday, October 28th, we'll kick things off with our legendary networking event at a venue in Torremolinos (to be announced soon).

Come to meet other attendees, speakers, organisers and friends of the event.

You don't need a ticket for the Yay-Yay Conf to join this social networking event. Everyone is welcome.

You can come as:

🔹 Attendee: Grab a drink, meet fellow nerds, and enjoy the chaos from the audience.

🔹 Challenger: Take the mic and get your moment in the spotlight.

Got a rejected CFP?, a cursed technical opinion?, or an absurd story from production? a completely unhinged idea? This is your moment to shine and get recognized.

Challenge Rules

  • Talks must be fun, entertaining, or gloriously ridiculous.
  • Duration: 5 or 8 minutes.
  • At minute 4, the audience decides your fate:
    • 👍 Continue for 4 more minutes
    • ✂️ Or get dramatically cut off at minute 5

The winner will become an official speaker at the Yay-Yay Conf, getting free access to the event and the chance to deliver a 10-minute talk in one of the conference rooms.

Tech Quiz & Karaoke

Tech Quiz & Karaoke

As for Karaoke: you don’t need to be a professional singer to join.

Actually, after a couple of beers, everyone becomes one.

The talks are over. The apocalypse is on hold. Time to make some noise.

Join us at Peña Amigos del Arte in Torremolinos for a Halloween farewell packed with live music, drinks, jamón, traditional dishes, and the kind of memories that should probably never reach LinkedIn.

Four acts. One gloriously unhinged night:

🎤 That Crooner — Vocaltronika: one voice, beatboxing, electronic loops, and beautifully controlled chaos.

⚡ Crisanteemos — Punk rock. Bring your remaining energy. Leave your sensible decisions at the door and enjoy the FUZZZZZZ.

🔥 Unamoto — Apocafistro rock. Heavy riffs for the end of the world.

🤖 p(doom) Slopcore — AI-generated music from a mystery act featuring one of our very own speakers. Who could it be? No spoilers. No model card.

👻 DRESS CODE: HALLOWEEN AI APOCALYPSE

Come as a bloody clippy, Elon Molusken, Dario Amodracula, or the scariest thing imaginable… Jira's logo. EVERYONE MUST COME IN COSTUME.

🏆 The best costume wins a free ticket to next year’s Yay-Yay Conf!
